kidrock - Orlando isn't really a young team, beyond McGrady and Miller. Garrity is a role player at best, and he's 25 or so. Armstrong is 33, Grant 37, and Ewing 39 or 40. Beyond those players, Orlando is really a collection of role players....without Hill, they weren't going to do much more than win 40-45 games again this season. The $4.5 million exception is something you get every season, even if you used it the year before. I'm sure they'll be in the hunt for LaFrentz this offseason. The Magic may be putting all of their eggs into the Duncan basket, but they feel pretty confident in landing him, McDyess, or J. ONeal.
Yay the Blazers won last night versus the Lakers, although they didn't even play that well. Tonight is also a big game for them, they will face the Sonics who are also doing pretty well. But I have a pretty good feeling that the Blazers will probably edge out the Sonics. And I would love for the Blazers to get Van Exel and Lafrentz, I wouldn't mind if they gave up Randolf or even Stoudamire but for them to give up Wells would suck. Because he is a great Shooting Guard and once he gets the playing time and the ball he will emerge as the top shooting guard.
